That’s interesting. I searched both of my Grant books hoping to find his thoughts on the raid and found none. I guess it helps to own the right books.
[Edit]. It appears Chernow’s writing answers you OP. Grant does not appear the least bit remiss concerning the loss of his Cavalry during this time frame. In fact Grant applauds Sheridan’s performance.
I’d be courious to read footnotes 67 and 68. His sources would be interesting to learn.
Here they are:
[67] Grant, Memoirs, 2:497
[68] Sheridan, Memoirs, 1:387
[68] Sheridan, Memoirs, 1:387
*Inside joke: Little Phil makes a case that Phil Sheridan was a compulsive liar.
